La Maison Bleue

Over a sultan's feast of pastilla, marinated salads, tajines, and pastries at La Maison Bleue in the Fès medina, my husband and I were spellbound by the haunting voice of this oud player. The melancholy cadence of his instrument coalesced with the slow enchantment of his vocals to form an unforgettable and almost tangible atmosphere of magic and mystery.
